STOCKTON - A man was wounded in a drive-by shooting shortly before 9:30 p.m. Saturday in east Stockton, authorities said.

The San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office responded to reports of a shooting in the 100 block of South Sinclair Avenue at 9:23 p.m. They found a Latino man in his 20s suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest, deputies said. The victim was conscious and breathing when he was taken to the hospital, officials said.

Authorities were searching for a green four-door Honda that was seen in the area at the time of the shooting, deputies said.

The shooting occurred on a residential street less than a half-mile from Franklin High School. Neighbors said there was a drive-by shooting outside the same house within the past year.
